Make an
impact today

Volunteering at Rogers Center offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, contribute to environmental education, and make a lasting impact on our community. Whether you’re passionate about conservation, enjoy working with people, or want to give back, there’s a place for you here.

Volunteer Opportunities

If you enjoy working with children and sharing your love of nature, consider becoming an education volunteer at Rogers Center. You don’t need to be an expert at identifying trees and birds; you do need to have a curious mind, a positive mindset, and compassion for learners of all abilities.

Education Volunteers

Throughout the year, Rogers Center hosts a few large events. Event volunteers help with set up, take down, parking, visitor interactions, running activities, manning booths, serving coffee, and more. Events like the Winter Living Celebration and Animals of Halloween are simply not possible without our volunteers.

Event Volunteers

From trimming back branches to digging out beaver dams, if you enjoy working outdoors with your hands, you might feel right at home as one of our trail crew volunteers. Self-starters excel in this position, and you know your work will be appreciated.

Trail Volunteers

If you have top notch administrative or technical skills, or even if you just enjoy meeting people, you might be interested in volunteering in our office and/or gift shop. Weekend volunteers are invaluable to our small staff, and we can always use an extra pair of hands in the office.
